Ingredients for Yogurt & Fruit Granola Parfaits
You’ll need just a few ingredients to make the best tasting parfaits! Here’s what’s on the ingredient list:
- Yogurt: I like to use rich and creamy Greek yogurt but feel free to use your favorite variety. Use plain or vanilla flavored yogurt.
- Granola: grab a bag of your favorite crunchy granola! I love to use one that also has nuts and other grains.
- Raspberries: for making the crushed raspberry sauce. You can use fresh or frozen berries for the sauce:
- Fresh Berries & Fruit: use fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, nectarines, etc. for filling the fruit parfaits.
- Honey: if you want to add a little bit of sweetness to the recipe, try drizzling in some sweet honey.
Easy Raspberry Sauce!
For extra berry flavor, I like to make my raspberry sauce with fresh raspberries and just a touch of sugar for added sweetness. The additional raspberry flavor is just what any fruit cup needs! And nothing beats using fresh fruit! I love to add pineapple, blueberry and nectarines to this fruit parfait. Feel free to switch up the fruit according to what’s in season.
How to Make Fruit & Granola Parfaits
These quick and easy fruit, yogurt and granola parfait cups are so delicious and flavor packed! Here’s how I make them:
- Prepare the raspberry sauce: I just place the berries into a large bowl, add a bit of sugar and crush them with a large fork. You can use fresh or frozen (thawed) berries for this recipe.
- Prepare the fruit: I used nectarines, blueberries and pineapple but any of your favorite fruit and berries will work well for this recipe.
- Assembly: to assemble the granola parfaits, I add some yogurt into the bottom of my cups first, then add a bit of raspberry sauce. Next, I add some fruit and then top it with granola.
- Enjoy!
Can I Make These Parfaits Ahead of Time?
Make these cups to go and take them to work for a light breakfast or mid-day snack. I love to make a few of these ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerate so I can have a quick and delicious snack when I need one. If you’re making these ahead of time, keep the granola separate, or add it on top so that it doesn’t get soggy from standing in fruit juice.
